The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJordan Baker has Nick at a crowded table and tells him to keep his voice down. Gatsby has just driven him around and made an enormous request: invite Daisy to tea. Jordan finally unpacks Louisville, how Gatsby looked at Daisy, the war, the letter, Tom sweeping in. The house across the bay is no coincidence. He threw those parties hoping she would wander in one night. Nick is supposed to stage a chance meeting, and he already feels torn.
